Rehoboth is a town in Namibia, Africa, and is known as the heart of the Baster community. A visit here gives a window onto a part of Namibia's cultural heritage that is distinct from many other places in the country, shaped through its historic buildings and the local traditions that continue within the town.
What to see and do
- Historic buildings, which reflect the town's past and its community
- Local traditions, offering insight into the Baster way of life
- Natural hot springs, a refreshing place to pause during desert travel
Rehoboth is also a gateway to the Kalahari Desert, so it suits travellers who want to combine time in town with a wider exploration of the region.
Getting there and along the way
The town sits in a central location, which makes it a practical stopover between Windhoek and the attractions of southern Namibia. Many visitors will find it a natural break on a longer road journey, with the chance to stretch their legs, learn about the community and soak in the hot springs before continuing south or returning to the capital.
If you are interested in cultural heritage and a slower pace of travel between Namibia's major sights, Rehoboth is well worth considering as part of your route.
